Hyponatremia
Samsca only
Indicated for adults with clinically significant euvolemic or hypervolemic hyponatremia (serum sodium <125 mEq/L or less marked hyponatremia that is symptomatic and has resisted correction with fluid restriction), including patients with heart failure, cirrhosis, and SIADH
Initial: 15 mg PO qDay
Maintenance: May increase to 30 mg qDay after at least 24 hr to achieve the optimal serum sodium level; not to exceed 60 mg/day
Not to exceed 30 days of treatment
Polycystic Kidney Disease
Jynarque only
Indicated to slow kidney function decline in adults at risk of rapidly progressing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)
Initial: 45 mg PO taken on waking and 15 mg taken 8 hr later (ie, 60 mg/day)
Titrate to 60 mg plus 30 mg, then to 90 mg plus 30 mg per day if tolerated, with at least weekly intervals between titrations
Patients may down-titrate based on tolerability
Encourage patients to drink enough water to avoid thirst or dehydration
Dosage Modifications
Renal impairment
- CrCl 10-79 mL/min: No dosage adjustment required
- CrCl <10 mL or dialysis: Not recommended; drug effects on serum sodium levels are likely lost at very low levels of renal function
- Anuria: Contraindicated; no benefit expected
Hepatic impairment
- Moderate and severe hepatic impairment do not affect exposure to tolvaptan to a clinically relevant extent
- Underlying liver disease: Avoid use
Strong CYP3A inhibitors
- Coadministration with strong CYP3A inhibitors: Contraindicated; causes a marked (5-fold) increase in tolvaptan exposure
Moderate CYP3A inhibitors (Samsca)
- Not studied; prescribing information recommends avoiding coadministration
Moderate CYP3A inhibitors (Jynarque)
- Reduce the dose if coadministered with moderate CYP3A inhibitor; consider further reductions if patients cannot tolerate the reduced dose
- Interrupt temporarily for short-term therapy with moderate CYP3A inhibitors if the recommended reduced doses are not available
Dose reduction with moderate CYP3A inhibitors
- Taking 90 mg and 30 mg: Reduce to 45 mg and 15 mg
- Taking 60 mg and 30 mg: Reduce to 30 mg and 15 mg
- Taking 45 mg and 15 mg: Reduce to 15 mg and 15 mg
Potent CYP3A inducers
- Coadministration with potent CYP3A inducers: Monitor and adjust tolvaptan dose accordingly; potent inducers reduce tolvaptan plasma concentrations by 85%
P-gp inhibitors
- Coadministration with P-gp inhibitors: Monitor; tolvaptan dose may need to be reduced
Dosing Considerations
Limitations of use (Samsca)
- Patients should be hospitalized for initiation and reinitiation of therapy to evaluate the therapeutic response and because too-rapid correction of hyponatremia can cause osmotic demyelination
- Do not use in patients requiring intervention to raise serum sodium urgently to prevent or to treat serious neurological symptoms
- It has not been established that raising serum sodium with tolvaptan provides a symptomatic benefit to patients
- Monitor serum sodium
Jynarque
Monitoring to mitigate risk of liver injury
- Perform blood testing for ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to initiating, at 2 and 4 weeks after initiation, monthly for 18 months, and q3Months thereafter
- Monitor for concurrent symptoms that may indicate liver injury

Immune system disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylactic shock and rash
Hepatobiliary disorders: Liver failure requiring transplantation
Warnings
Black Box Warnings
Samsca
- Initiate or reinitiate only in a hospital where serum sodium level can be monitored closely
- Too-rapid correction of hyponatremia (eg, >12 mEq/L/24 hr) can cause osmotic demyelination resulting in dysarthria, mutism, dysphagia, lethargy, affective changes, spastic quadriparesis, seizures, coma, and death
- In susceptible patients, including those with severe malnutrition, alcoholism, or advanced liver disease, slower rates of correction may be advisable
- Not for use for ADPKD because of risk of hepatoxicity; tolvaptan (Jynarque) is specifically indicated for ADPKD
Jynarque
- Can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury; acute liver failure requiring liver transplantation reported
- Measure ALT, AST and bilirubin before initiating treatment, at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after initiation, monthly for the first 18 months ,and q3Months thereafter
- Prompt action in response to laboratory abnormalities, signs, or symptoms indicative of hepatic injury can mitigate, but not eliminate, the risk of serious hepatotoxicity
- Because of the risks of serious liver injury, available only through a restricted distribution program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the Jynarque REMS Program; additional information is available at www.jynarquerems.com or by telephone at 1-877-726-7220
Contraindications
Concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors
Hypersensitivity (eg, anaphylactic shock, generalized rash)
Anuria
Inability of patient to sense or appropriately respond to thirst
Hypovolemic hyponatremia
Samsca
- Use in patients with ADPKD outside of FDA-approved REMS (see Black Box Warnings)
- Urgent need to raise serum sodium acutely
Jynarque
- History, signs, or symptoms of significant liver impairment or injury; this contraindication does not apply to uncomplicated polycystic liver disease
- Uncorrected abnormal blood sodium concentrations
- Uncorrected urinary outflow obstruction
Cautions
Hypernatremia, hypovolemia, and/or dehydration may occur; encourage patient to drink whenever thirsty
Patients with partial obstruction of urinary outflow, patients with prostatic hypertrophy or impairment of micturition, have increased risk of developing acute retention
Can cause serious and potentially fatal liver injury; acute liver failure requiring liver transplantation reported; discontinue if laboratory abnormalities or signs or symptoms of liver injury are evident (see Black Box Warnings); limit duration of therapy to 30 days; avoid use in patients with underlying liver disease, including cirrhosis, because ability to recover from liver injury may be impaired
In patients who develop medically significant signs or symptoms of hypovolemia, interrupt or discontinue therapy and provide supportive care with careful management of vital signs, fluid balance and electrolytes; fluid restriction during therapy may increase risk of dehydration and hypovolemia; patients receiving therapy should continue ingestion of fluid in response to thirst
Osmotic demyelination syndrome
- Osmotic demyelination syndrome is a risk associated with too-rapid correction of hyponatremia (see Black Box Warnings)
- In susceptible patients, including those with severe malnutrition, alcoholism or advanced liver disease, slower rates of correction may be advisable
- In patients who develop too rapid a rise in serum sodium, discontinue or interrupt treatment and consider administration of hypotonic fluid; fluid restriction during first 24 hr of therapy may increase likelihood of overly-rapid correction of serum sodium, and should generally be avoided; co-administration of diuretics also increases risk of too rapid correction of serum sodium; such patients should undergo close monitoring of serum sodium
- Patients with symptoms that may indicate liver injury, including fatigue, anorexia, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine or jaundice should discontinue treatment
Drug interaction overview
- Hypertonic saline: Concomitant use not recommended
- Diuretics: Increases risk for dehydration
- P-gp inhibitors: Monitor; dose reduction may be required
- Drugs that increase serum potassium: Tolvaptan may have additive hyperkalemic effects if coadministered
- P-gp substrates: Tolvaptan may increase AUC and Cmax of P-gp substrates
- OATP1B1/3 and OAT3 substrates: Avoid concomitant use; tolvaptan may increase plasma concentrations of these substrates
- BCRP substrates: Avoid concomitant use; tolvaptan is an inhibitor of BCRP
- V2-receptor agonists: Avoid concomitant use; tolvaptan, a V2-antagonist, interferes with V2-agonist activity (eg, desmopressin [dDAVP])
-
CYP3A
- Tolvaptan is a substrate of CYP3A
- CYP3A inhibitors can lead to a marked increase in tolvaptan concentrations
- Coadministration with strong CY3A inhibitors: Contraindicated
- Coadministration with moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Avoid (Samsca); modify dose (Jynarque)
- Coadministration with CYP3A inducers: Monitor; dosage increase may be required
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Available data are insufficient to determine if there is a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes
Animal studies
- In embryo-fetal development studies, pregnant rats and rabbits received oral tolvaptan during organogenesis
- At maternally nontoxic doses, tolvaptan did not cause any developmental toxicity in rats or in rabbits at exposures approximately 4- and 1-times, respectively, the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 90/30 mg; however, effects on embryo-fetal development occurred in both species at maternally toxic doses
Lactation
Data are not available on the presence of tolvaptan in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production
Tolvaptan is present in rat milk
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, including liver toxicity, electrolyte abnormalities (eg, hypernatremia), hypotension, and volume depletion in breastfed infants, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
